North Kossuth Community School District is a rural public school district based in Swea City, Iowa.[2] Located in northern Kossuth County, it serves Swea City, Bancroft and Ledyard.[3]
, the district has about 300 students.[4] It operates an elementary and middle school in Swea City, consisting of North Kossuth Elementary School and North Union Middle School.[5] Its high school is North Union High School in Armstrong, of the North Union Community School District.[6] As part of a grade-sharing arrangement the North Union and North Kossuth districts send each other's students to their secondary schools, and in addition North Union and North Kossuth share a superintendent, Travis Schueller, and some other administrators. The North Kossuth district is branded as "North Union Schools" even though the two districts remain legally separate.[4]
It was formed on July 1, 1978, by the merger of the Swea City and Ledyard school districts, using "Cougars" as their mascot and blue and white as their school colors.[7]
In 2008, it began a grade-sharing arrangement with the Sentral Community School District. Later the Armstrong–Ringsted Community School District entered into a new grade-sharing arrangement with Sentral, and the two districts merged into North Union in 2014.[8]
In 2015, Schueller stated that area voters had emotional attachment to the school building but not the school district itself, which would make them more easily accept a future school district merger.[4]
